Date: 8 May 1997 21:23:37 GMT Organization: University of New Brunswick Lines: 30 Message-ID: <5ktg8p$nnh@sol.sun.csd.unb.ca> NNTP-Posting-Host: grover.mta.ca X-Newsreader: TIN [UNIX 1.3 unoff BETA release 960917] Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.misc:5915 I am trying to do a diskless boot of NetBSD-1.2 on a SparcStation 1+ with 8MB RAM. The server is a Linux 2.0.10. I believe that the tftp server is running fine. I have added the appropriate rarp and rap entries. The Linux machine is named grover and the sparc is named oscar. On the sparc I see: >ok boot le()netbsd -s >Booting from: le(0,0,0)netbsd -s >b200 >> NetBSD BOOT [$Revision: 1.4 $] >boot: client IP address: 138.73.1.66 It hangs here forever (well a real long time...). Out of curiosity, I ran tcpdump and after a lot of transfering of the data from the PC to the Sparc I get: >17:13:47.164213 grover.mta.ca.1083 > oscar.mta.ca.30849: udp 116 (ttl 64, id 14103) >17:13:47.174213 oscar.mta.ca.30849 > grover.mta.ca.1083: udp 4 (ttl 123, id 1234) >17:13:48.184213 rarp who-is 8:0:20:9:a:e2 tell 8:0:20:9:a:e2 >17:13:48.184213 rarp reply 8:0:20:9:a:e2 at oscar.mta.ca >17:13:48.234213 oscar.mta.ca.1023 > 255.255.255.255.sunrpc: udp 96 (ttl 4, id 0) Does anyone have any suggestions or remarks about what I have not configured correctly?
